The use of catheter-tipped pressure transducers for chronic measurement of genital tract pressures in the ewe. I. Implantation technique, catheter performance and data analysis

A computerised system for chronic in vivo monitoring of genital tract pressure in the ewe is described. Solid-state, catheter-tipped pressure transducers were surgically implanted in the uterine tube (ampulla), ipsilateral uterine horn and abdomen of five non-pregnant parous ewes. The catheters were connected to a portable computer which recorded the pressure at each location once per second and was programmed to analyse the data as mean pressure and area under the contraction curve over given periods. The catheters remained implanted for up to 129 days and 252 daily recordings were made. Analysis of spontaneous activity showed little variation in mean pressure of work done over four successive ten-minute periods. Although the amplitude of uterine contractions varied quite dramatically, chiefly in relation to variation in the plasma progesterone concentration, ampullary activity was unaffected by such changes. Genital tract pressures did not appear to be influenced by abdominal events. The catheters provoked minimal tissue reaction, and it is suggested that the system is suitable for chronic in vivo recording of genital tract pressure in the ewe.     

Blood pressure control by home monitoring: meta-analysis of randomised trials

Objective To determine the effect of home blood pressure monitoring on blood pressure levels and proportion of people with essential hypertension achieving targets.Design Meta-analysis of 18 randomised controlled trials.Participants 1359 people with essential hypertension allocated to home blood pressure monitoring and 1355 allocated to the “control” group seen in the healthcare system for 2-36 months.Main outcome measures Differences in systolic (13 studies), diastolic (16 studies), or mean (3 studies) blood pressures, and proportion of patients achieving targets (6 studies), between intervention and control groups.Results Systolic blood pressure was lower in people with hypertension who had home blood pressure monitoring than in those who had standard blood pressure monitoring in the healthcare system (standardised mean difference 4.2 (95% confidence interval 1.5 to 6.9) mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure was lower by 2.4 (1.2 to 3.5) mm Hg, and mean blood pressure was lower by 4.4 (2.0 to 6.8) mm Hg. The relative risk of blood pressure above predetermined targets was lower in people with home blood pressure monitoring (risk ratio 0.90, 0.80 to 1.00). When publication bias was allowed for, the differences were attenuated: 2.2 (-0.9 to 5.3) mm Hg for systolic blood pressure and 1.9 (0.6 to 3.2) mm Hg for diastolic blood pressure.Conclusions Blood pressure control in people with hypertension (assessed in the clinic) and the proportion achieving targets are increased when home blood pressure monitoring is used rather than standard blood pressure monitoring in the healthcare system. The reasons for this are not clear. The difference in blood pressure control between the two methods is small but likely to contribute to an important reduction in vascular complications in the hypertensive population.     

Catheterization of the Carotid Artery and Jugular Vein to Perform Hemodynamic Measures,Infusions and Blood Sampling in a Conscious Rat Model

The success of a small animal model to study critical illness is, in part, dependent on the ability of the model to simulate the human condition. Intra-tracheal inoculation of a known amount of bacteria has been successfully used to reproduce the pathogenesis of pneumonia which then develops into sepsis. Monitoring hemodynamic parameters and providing standard clinical treatment including infusion of antibiotics, fluids and drugs to maintain blood pressure is critical to simulate routine supportive care in this model but to do so requires both arterial and venous vascular access. The video details the surgical technique for implanting carotid artery and common jugular vein catheters in an anesthetized rat. Following a 72 hr recovery period, the animals will be re-anesthetized and connected to a tether and swivel setup attached to the rodent housing which connects the implanted catheters to the hemodynamic monitoring system. This setup allows free movement of the rat during the study while continuously monitoring pressures, infusing fluids and drugs (antibiotics, vasopressors) and performing blood sampling.     

Constant-flow ventilation in pigs

Constant-flow ventilation (CFV) is a ventilatory technique in which physiological blood gases can be maintained in dogs by a constant flow of fresh gas introduced via two catheters placed in the main-stem bronchi (J. Appl. Physiol. 53: 483-489, 1982). High-velocity gas exiting from the catheters can create uneven pressure differences in adjacent lung segments, and these pressure differences could lead to gas flow through collateral channels. To examine this hypothesis, we studied CFV in pigs, animals known to have a high resistance to collateral ventilation. In three pigs we examined steady-state gas exchange, and in six others we studied unsteady gas exchange at three flow rates (20, 35, and 50 l/min) and three catheter positions (0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 cm distal to the tracheal carina). During steady-state runs we were unable to attain normocapnia; the arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) was approximately 300 Torr at all flow rates and all catheter positions, compared with 20-50 Torr at similar flows and positions in dogs studied previously. The initial unsteady gas-exchange experiments indicated no consistent effect of catheter position or flow rate on the rate of rise of PaCO2. In three other pigs, the rates of rise of PaCO2 were compared with the rates observed with apneic oxygenation (AO). At the maximum flow and deepest position, the rate of rise of PaCO2 was lower during CFV than during AO. These data suggest that flow through collateral channels might be important in producing adequate gas transport during CFV; however, other factors such as airway morphometry and the effects of cardiogenic oscillations may explain the differences between the results in pigs and dogs.     

Effect of covalently bound heparin coating on patency and biocompatibility of long-term indwelling catheters in the rat jugular vein

Many physiologic and pharmacologic studies require long-term vascular access for repeated substance infusion and/or blood sample collection. The study reported here was undertaken to determine whether a functionally active heparin coating would improve long-term patency of venous catheters in rats. Uncoated or coated catheters were surgically placed in the jugular vein, and patency was evaluated twice weekly for a total of 30 days. Culturing of blood and catheters, and histologic examination were performed for all rats. All heparin-coated catheters remained patent for the study duration, with patency defined as ability to infuse saline and withdraw a blood sample. Median patency for uncoated catheters was 17.5 days, with a range of three to 30 days. Histologic evaluation of vessels revealed more advanced and severe lesions in rats with uncoated, compared with coated catheters. Furthermore, uncoated catheters had increased association with bacteremia (3/8), compared with coated (0/9) catheters. Taken together, these results indicate that coating catheters with covalently bound heparin molecules can significantly prolong patency and cause less pathologic damage to the catheterized vessel.     

A novel, fully implantable, multichannel biotelemetry system for measurement of blood flow, pressure, ECG, and temperature.

Biotelemetry provides high-quality data in awake, free-ranging animals without the effects of anesthesia and surgery. Although many biological parameters can be measured using biotelemetry, simultaneous telemetric measurements of pressure and flow have not been available. The objective of this study was to evaluate simultaneous measurements of blood flow, pressure, ECG, and temperature in a fully implantable system. This novel system allows the measurement of up to four channels of blood flow, up to three channels of pressure, and a single channel each of ECG and temperature. The system includes a bidirectional radio-frequency link that allows the implant to send data and accept commands to perform various tasks. The system is controlled by a base station decoder/controller that decodes the data stream sent by the implant into analog signals. The system also converts the data into a digital data stream that can be sent via ethernet to a remote computer for storage and/or analysis. The system was chronically implanted in swine and alligators for up to 5 wk. Both bench and in vivo animal tests were performed to evaluate system performance. Results show that this biotelemetry system is capable of long-term accurate monitoring of simultaneous blood flow and pressure. The system allows, within the room, recordings, since the implant transmission range is between 6 and 10 m, and, with a relay, backpack transmission distance of up to 500 m can be achieved. This system will have significant utility in chronic models of cardiovascular physiology and pathology.     

Intramuscular fluid pressure during isometric contraction of human skeletal muscle

Intramuscular fluid pressures were recorded in the vastus medialis of seven healthy male volunteers. Pressures were measured simultaneously at three different sites in the muscle by a catheter-tip transducer with extremely low volume-displacement characteristics and by two extracorporeal transducers connected to slit catheters. All three recording systems gave qualitatively similar results provided the catheters had inner diameters exceeding 0.53 mm and allowed measurement of pressures lasting as short as 1 s. Wick catheters yielded slower responses than slit catheters. At any position intramuscular fluid pressure increased linearly with force up to maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). However, slopes of these curves varied greatly mainly because the pressure was also a linear function of the distance from the fascia. The highest recorded pressure was 570 Torr. At prolonged submaximal contractions intramuscular fluid pressure oscillated independent of contraction force. The linearity of both the pressure-force relationship and the pressure-depth relationship is compatible with a simple model based on the law of Laplace because the muscle fibers are curved during contraction in this muscle. It is hypothesized that blood flow is first compromised deep in the muscle where pressure is highest and in general at lower stress or tension in short bulging muscles with great curvature of the fibers compared with long slender ones.     

Femoral Arterial and Venous Catheterization for Blood Sampling,Drug Administration and Conscious Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Measurements

In multiple fields of study, access to the circulatory system in laboratory studies is necessary. Pharmacological studies in rats using chronically implanted catheters permit a researcher to effectively and humanely administer substances, perform repeated blood sampling and assists in conscious direct measurements of blood pressure and heart rate. Once the catheter is implanted long-term sampling is possible. Patency and catheter life depends on multiple factors including the lock solution used, flushing regimen and catheter material. This video will demonstrate the methodology of femoral artery and venous catheterization of the rat. In addition the video will demonstrate the use of the femoral venous and arterial catheters for blood sampling, drug administration and use of the arterial catheter in taking measurements of blood pressure and heart rate in a conscious freely-moving rat. A tether and harness attached to a swivel system will allow the animal to be housed and have samples taken by the researcher with minimal disruption to the animal. To maintain patency of the catheter, careful daily maintenance of the catheter is required using lock solution (100 U/ml heparinized saline), machine-ground blunt tip syringe needles and the use of syringe filters to minimize potential contamination. With careful aseptic surgical techniques, proper catheter materials and careful catheter maintenance techniques, it is possible to sustain patent catheters and healthy animals for long periods of time (several weeks).     

Continuous intravenous infusion and simultaneous pharmacokinetic monitoring in ambulatory rabbits with a programmable micropump and dual subcutaneous Silastic central venous catheters.

We describe a newly developed method of continuous intravenous infusion and simultaneous monitoring of plasma levels of investigational compounds in ambulatory untethered rabbits. Continuous infusion was administered by means of a portable programmable external micropump which permitted adjustable dosing. Simultaneous plasma pharmacokinetic monitoring during infusion was accomplished by dual silastic central venous catheters. The potential applications of the micropump infusion system as an alternative to current methods of continuous infusion in other species and in other studies are further discussed. This method provided a safe, reliable, and well-tolerated method of adjustable continuous intravenous infusion and simultaneous sampling of central venous blood in rabbits.     

Neuromonitoring in a porcine model of acute hepatic failure

Cerebral oedema has been noted to occur frequently in patients dying of fulminant hepatic failure. Therefore, in the present study, multimodal neuromonitoring was evaluated in an animal model of hepatectomy. Acute liver failure was surgically induced in swine by complete hepatectomy (n = 8). Intracranial pressure monitoring via a ventricular drainage system, electroencephalogram and recording of visually evoked potentials were used to establish a continuous neuromonitoring system. Measurements of liquor and serum ammonia (NH(3)) levels were taken at later stages of the trial in an approach to widen monitoring. Serial monitoring of the electroencephalogram revealed progressive slowing of the frequency with decreasing amplitude. Monitoring of the intracranial pressure with a subdural pressure transducer demonstrated a progressive and reproducible elevation. Increase in blood NH(3) was observed. Anaesthesia was terminal. In all cases death was caused by cardiocirculatory insufficiency, confirmed by autopsy. At autopsy, brain tissue of the animals was found to be swollen showing flattened cortical gyri. In conclusion, the technique of extended neuromonitoring offers an advanced option for monitoring animal models of fulminant hepatic failure for further developments and investigations.     

Hemodynamic effects of blood loss during a passive response to a stressor in the conscious rabbit

In the conscious rabbit, exposure to an air jet stressor increases arterial pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output. During hemorrhage, air jet exposure extends the blood loss necessary to produce hypotension. It is possible that this enhanced defense of arterial pressure is a general characteristic of stressors. However, some stressors such as oscillation (OSC), although they increase arterial pressure, do not change heart rate or cardiac output. The cardiovascular changes during OSC resemble those seen during freezing behavior. In the present study, our hypothesis was that, unlike air jet, OSC would not affect defense of arterial blood pressure during blood loss. Male New Zealand White rabbits were chronically prepared with arterial and venous catheters and Doppler flow probes. We removed venous blood until mean arterial pressure decreased to 40 mmHg. We repeated the experiment in each rabbit on separate days in the presence and absence (SHAM) of OSC. Compared with SHAM, OSC increased arterial pressure 14 +/- 1 mmHg, central venous pressure 3.3 +/- 0.4 mmHg, and hindquarter blood flow 34 +/- 4% while decreasing mesenteric conductance 32 +/- 3% and not changing heart rate or cardiac output. During normotensive hemorrhage, OSC enhanced hindquarter and renal vasoconstriction. Contrary to our hypothesis, OSC (23.5 +/- 0.6 ml/kg) increased the blood loss necessary to produce hypotension compared with SHAM (16.8 +/- 0.6 ml/kg). In nine rabbits, OSC prevented hypotension even after a blood loss of 27 ml/kg. Thus a stressful stimulus that resulted in cardiovascular changes similar to those seen during freezing behavior enhanced defense of arterial pressure during hemorrhage.     

Method of intracranial pressure monitoring and cerebrospinal fluid sampling in swine

Cerebral oedema and encephalopathy have been noted to occur frequently in patients severely ill or dying after trauma, ischaemia, infections or even metabolic disorders. The objective of the present study was to establish continuous monitoring of the intracranial pressure (ICP) and sampling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for further investigations in swine. ICP monitoring was established in eight pigs by using a ventricular drainage system, implemented after paramedian trepanation of the os frontale. CSF and serum samples were taken for measurement of the levels of glucose and protein. Operating time was 21+/-8 min for the trepanation until ICP monitoring was performed. No complications occurred during surgery. Continuous monitoring of ICP and CSF sampling was easy to perform, and without any side-effects in any animal. At autopsy, no iatrogenic lesions were found and monitoring catheters were still in place. For several types of research requiring ICP monitoring and sampling of CSF, this method can be used successfully.     

Cyclic AMP, the hyperresponsiveness factor from hog kidney

The isolation and identification of a material present in the plasma of hypertensive dogs and hypertensive human patients has been under study since 1972. The earliest experiments in relation to this work, noted that plasma from hypertensive dogs cause a hyperresponse to norepinephrine when both were administered by way of the vein. Employing a rat assay system that consisted of an anesthetized rat with polyethylene catheters in the vein for giving norepinephrine and the test fractions and a catheter in the artery for blood pressure monitoring, fractions from hog kidney were tested for hyperresponsiveness activity. The active material is very comparable to cyclic AMP in molecular weight, ultraviolet spectrum, paper chromatography, Enzyme hydrolysis and activity in the anesthetized rat system. This evidence indicates that the hyperresponsiveness factor of renal origin is cyclic AMP.     

Longitudinal Hemodynamic Measurements in Swine Heart Failure Using a Fully Implantable Telemetry System

Chronic monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and flow in conscious free-roaming large animals can offer considerable opportunity to understand the progression of cardiovascular diseases and can test new diagnostics and therapeutics. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of chronic, simultaneous measurement of several hemodynamic parameters (left ventricular pressure, systemic pressure, blood flow velocity, and heart rate) using a totally implantable multichannel telemetry system in swine heart failure models. Two solid-state blood pressure sensors were inserted in the left ventricle and the descending aorta for pressure measurements. Two Doppler probes were placed around the left anterior descending (LAD) and the brachiocephalic arteries for blood flow velocity measurements. Electrocardiographic (ECG) electrodes were attached to the surface of the left ventricle to monitor heart rate. The telemeter body was implanted in the right side of the abdomen under the skin for approximately 4 to 6 weeks. The animals were subjected to various heart failure models, including volume overload (A-V fistula, n = 3), pressure overload (aortic banding, n = 2) and dilated cardiomyopathy (pacing-induced tachycardia, n = 3). Longitudinal changes in hemodynamics were monitored during the progression of the disease. In the pacing-induced tachycardia animals, the systemic blood pressure progressively decreased within the first 2 weeks and returned to baseline levels thereafter. In the aortic banding animals, the pressure progressively increased during the development of the disease. The pressure in the A-V fistula animals only showed a small increase during the first week and remained stable thereafter. The results demonstrated the ability of this telemetry system of long-term, simultaneous monitoring of blood flow, pressure and heart rate in heart failure models, which may offer significant utility for understanding cardiovascular disease progression and treatment.     

Variable site of airway narrowing among obstructive sleep apnea patients

The purpose of this was to determine whether the site of physiological narrowing within the upper airway was uniform or differed among patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Inspiratory pressures were measured with an esophageal balloon catheter and three catheters located at different sites along the upper airway: supralaryngeal airway, oropharynx, and nasopharynx. Peak inspiratory pressure differences between catheters allowed assessment of pressure gradients across three airway segments: lungs-larynx-retroepiglottal airway (esophageal-supralaryngeal pressure), hypopharynx (supralaryngeal-oropharynx pressure), and transpalatal airway (oropharynx-nasopharynx pressure). In five patients, hypopharyngeal obstruction was present, and in four patients no hypopharyngeal obstruction existed. In these four patients the site of obstruction was located at the level of the palate. In a given subject, the site of obstruction was the same during repeated measurements. The presence or absence of hypopharyngeal narrowing during sleep was not predictable from gradients measured across different segments of the upper airway during wakefulness. We conclude that the site of physiological upper airway obstruction varies among patients with obstructive sleep apnea and is not predictable from pressure measured during wakefulness. We speculate that uvulopalatopharyngoplasty may not relieve obstructive apneas in patients with hypopharyngeal obstruction.     

Non-invasive blood pressure measurement in Yucatan miniature swine using tail cuff sphygmomanometry

A relatively new non-invasive method using a photo-electric flow sensor in non-heated animals, was evaluated for its accuracy in measuring systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in 40-90 Kg normotensive and hypertensive Yucatan miniature swine. Directly measured SBP, DBP and electronically averaged MAP were recorded from chronic arterial catheters simultaneously with indirect pressures, cuff pressure and tail blood flow under various conditions. In all of the tests tail cuff SBP estimation averaged within 5% of directly measured SBP. The correlation of the two methods was significant (r = .95, P less than 0.01). Over a 60 to 202 mmHg range of blood pressure induced pharmacologically or due to DOCA hypertension, the tail cuff SBP was within 4-10% of directly measured SBP. The tail cuff method was also used to determine DBP and MAP. DBP determined from the tail cuff record was found consistently to underestimate the direct measured DBP by approximately 17%. The two methods were correlated (r = .87 P less than 0.01). The measured tail cuff MAP generally underestimated the direct MAP by approximately 5%. The correlation of directly measured MAP and tail cuff methods was significant (r = .72, P less than 0.01). These results indicated that this system may be used to accurately assess blood pressure in miniature swine.     

Effect of pravastatin on left ventricular mass in the two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats

We have demonstrated that myocardial ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are implicated in the development of cardiac hypertrophy in hyperlipidemic rabbits. We investigated the effect of pravastatin on development of ventricular hypertrophy in male normolipidemic Wistar rats with two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) hypertension and whether the attenuated hypertrophic effect was via activation of K(ATP) channels. Twenty-four hours after the left renal artery was clipped, rats were treated with one of the following therapies for 8 wk: vehicle, nicorandil (an agonist of K(ATP) channels), pravastatin, glibenclamide (an antagonist of K(ATP) channels), hydralazine, nicorandil plus glibenclamide, or pravastatin plus glibenclamide. Systolic blood pressure, relative left ventricular (LV) weight, and cardiomyocyte sizes significantly increased in vehicle-treated 2K1C rats compared with those in sham-operated rats. Treatment with either nicorandil or pravastatin significantly attenuated LV hypertrophy/body weight compared with the vehicle, which was further confirmed by downregulation of LV atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA. Nicorandil-induced effects were abolished by administering glibenclamide. Similarly, pravastatin-induced beneficial effects were reversed by the addition of glibenclamide, implicating K(ATP) channels as the relevant target. A dissociation between the effects of blood pressure and cardiac structure was noted because pravastatin and hydralazine reduced arterial pressure similarly. These results suggest a crucial role of cardiac K(ATP) channel system in the development of ventricular hypertrophy in the 2K1C hypertensive rats. Pravastatin is endowed with cardiac antihypertrophic properties probably through activation of K(ATP) channels, independent of lipid and hemodynamic changes.     

A surgical procedure and tethering system for chronic blood sampling, infusion, and temperature monitoring in caged nonhuman primates

A jacket and tethering system was used to maintain chronic catheters in monkeys, which provided catheter access and manipulability without further restraint. Surgical placement of catheters and a temperature probe allowed for a common cutaneous exit and interface with the jacket and tether. Monkeys were fitted in a sterile leather or denim jacket which was attached to a sterilized flexible stainless steel cable. Through this conduit, an indwelling temperature probe, as well as catheters from the internal jugular and femoral veins, were attached to a swivel unit located on the upper portion of the cage. The internal jugular catheter was used for the continuous infusion of support solution. The catheter from the femoral vein was maintained with a heparin lock and used for serial blood sampling. Using this system, it was possible to obtain frequent blood samples and body temperature readings, and to administer a continuous intravenous infusion without chemical or excessive physical restraint. To date, 367 monkeys, 322 cynomolgus (Macaca fasicularis), 16 rhesus (Macaca mulatta), and 21 African green (Cercopithecus aethiops) have been studied using this procedure.     

Genetic and dietary interactions: role of angiotensin AT1a receptors in response to a high-fructose diet

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in the cardiovascular complications of diabetes. We showed that a high-fructose diet increases blood pressure and plasma angiotensin and impairs glucose tolerance. We investigated the role of angiotensin AT(1a) receptors in the development of fructose-induced cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction. Male angiotensin AT(1a) knockout (AT1aKO) and wild-type (AT1aWT) mice with arterial telemetric catheters were fed a standard diet or one containing 60% fructose. Fructose increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) in AT1aWT but only during the dark phase (8% increase). In AT1aKO mice, fructose unexpectedly decreased MAP, during both light and dark periods (24 and 13% decrease, respectively). Analytical methods were used to measure systolic arterial pressure (SAP) and pulse interval (PI) variability in time and frequency domains. In fructose-fed AT1aWT mice, there was an increase in SAP variance and its low-frequency (LF) domain (11 +/- 3 vs. 23 +/- 4 mmHg(2), variance, and 7 +/- 2 vs. 17 +/- 3 mmHg(2), LF, control vs. fructose, P < 0.004). There were no changes in SAP variance in AT1aKO mice. Depressor responses to alpha(1)-adrenergic blockade were augmented in fructose-fed AT1a WT compared with AT1aKO mice. Fructose inhibited glucose tolerance with a greater effect in AT1aWT mice. Fructose increased plasma cholesterol in both groups (P < 0.01) and reduced ANG II in AT1aKO mice. Results document prominent interactions between genetics and diet with data showing that in the absence of angiotensin AT(1a) receptors, a fructose diet decreased blood pressure.     

基于卷积神经网络-长短期记忆神经网络模型利用光学体积描记术重建动脉血压波信号

目的 直接动脉血压（arterial blood pressure,ABP）连续监测是侵入式的,传统袖带式的间接血压测量法无法实现连续监测。既往利用光学体积描记术（photoplethysmography,PPG）实现了连续无创血压监测,但其为收缩压和舒张压的离散值,而非ABP波的连续值,本研究期望基于卷积神经网络-长短期记忆神经网络（CNN-LSTM）利用PPG信号波重建ABP波信号,实现连续无创血压监测。方法 构建CNN-LSTM混合神经网络模型,利用重症监护医学信息集（medical information mart for intensive care,MIMIC）中的PPG与ABP波同步记录信号数据,将PPG信号波经预处理降噪、归一化、滑窗分割后输入该模型,重建与之同步对应的ABP波信号。结果 使用窗口长度312的CNN-LSTM神经网络时,重建ABP值与实际ABP值间误差最小,平均绝对误差（mean absolute error,MAE）和均方根误差（root mean square error,RMSE）分别为2.79 mmHg和4.24 mmHg,余弦相似度最大,重建ABP值与实际ABP值一致性和相关性情况良好,符合美国医疗器械促进协会（Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation,AAMI）标准。结论 CNN-LSTM混合神经网络可利用PPG信号波重建ABP波信号,实现连续无创血压监测。
